Ruby25 December 7, 2015 Share December 7, 2015 I think Saoirse Ronan is looking really strong for the win right now. Brooklyn is making money and is apparently beloved by the Academy (according to screening reports), is bound to come in with more nominations than Room, and is for a sure a BP nom. And even critics can't resist her (it says more to me that she was the runner-up in all three critics groups today than it does who won- they saw that she won NYFCC the other day and wanted to pick someone else, but still couldn't resist having her in second). And she won the British Independent Film Award for Best Actress today, over Charlotte Rampling (who was chosen by LA and Boston), which means she's going to have support in the UK for sure and will probably be favored to win the BAFTA. If she wins the BAFTA and the Globe? I think she's winning the Oscar. Even if she doesn't take SAG (but she could very well take that one too). 2 Link to comment https://forums.primetimer.com/topic/31373-2016-awards-season/page/4/#findComment-1780894

No I agree, I think I realized Larson was in trouble when I thought Room was going wide and it never did, that movie was always going to be a tough sell, where as Ronan's movie is heartwarming story of immigrants (a seeming antidote to the more poisonous political narratives out there), it's an all audiences kind of film, Room is going to be more of challenge for the Older membership in the Academy. Dude wise I still think Leo has the edge, he's going ALL out campaign wise, and I think there's no single other performance anyone is championing.

Now, a great deal of elaborate logic is trotted out to explain why a movie romance or rivalry doesn't have two leads, but a leading and supporting player. Sure, the supporting star is the first and last person on screen and narrates the whole thing, but he's the more passive character who serves as a conduit to the more magnetic lead, or the supporting actress dies ten minutes before the end and therefore has less screen time. Not because the lead star is more famous, that other guy is too new, or it's our best chance for two nominations, no sirree, definitely not that.

Actress - This is the sharpest divide: Blanchett, Larson and Ronan I consider virtual locks, while Silverman and Mirren are no-hopers. Supporting Actor - Rylance is definitely in (which, as I've said before, I find a bit odd, but whatever; the people and critics have spoken), and I could see Elba and maybe Tremblay making a race of it. Bale and especially Shannon seem much less likely. Supporting Actress - other than Mirren (again), I could see everybody in this category getting nominated, though Winslet is, like Fassbender, in a film that has felt like it's flagging badly.

I'm wondering at this point if the vote splitting goes beyond just those two -- could Liev Schreiber or Stanley Tucci be siphoning off support too? Both were terrific IMO, even if their roles weren't as big as Ruffalo or Keaton. I've actually seen a few people saying they thought Schreiber was best in show, while Tucci probably had the most sympathetic character in the movie. Either way, I would not have predicted that Spotlight would have exactly one individual acting nomination from the SAGs and Globes combined. On another note, given that we were talking earlier about Warner Bros and their campaigning priorities, at this point they have to be putting all of their muscle behind Mad Max right? Now that it's been legitimized as a contender not just by the critics, but the Globes too, it seems like it's clearly their best shot at Picture/Director nominations. There really seems to be a ton of passion for it, which is especially important when it comes to the Oscars and their preferential ballots. And having seen Creed the other day, it remains a shame that they didn't seem to realize what they had with it until it was likely too late to make a major impact on the race, beyond a possible nomination for Stallone.

Abrams' Star Wars: The Force Awakens premiered Dec. 14 and was met with enthusiastic reactions from Academy members and early critics ("The Force is back. Big time," wrote THR's Todd McCarthy). Many of them grew up on George Lucas' first trilogy and had braced themselves to be disappointed by the Disney relaunch, as they were with Lucas' own prequel films. But their reactions suggest Force Awakens could become the franchise's first installment since the 1977 original to land not only below-the-line nominations but also a nom for best picture. With no one film dominating the race and the different groups being "all over the place", there's heavy campaigning behind the scenes: "I have never been so assaulted by screenings and events and screeners," sighs Anne Goursaud, a voter in the Academy's film editing branch. "This is the first year I've gotten four copies of some movies — they keep coming, and it's really annoying. If I get another copy of Carol or The Danish Girl, I'm going lose it." Goursaud says she is partial to The Big Short, Spotlight, Trumbo and especially Straight Outta Compton, "which is probably my favorite so far — but nothing really knocked my socks off," she says.

raezen December 23, 2015 Share December 23, 2015 All true but if one has to go I vote for this one because I think people are starting to get serious award fatigue. Link to comment https://forums.primetimer.com/topic/31373-2016-awards-season/page/4/#findComment-1823500
vb68 December 23, 2015 Share December 23, 2015 (edited) I'm betting Star Wars gets in for Best Picture just because they surely know it would gin up interest. And that's fine with me.

Blergh December 23, 2015 Share December 23, 2015 Could "Force Awakens" become to these Awards what Pia Zadora was to the Golden Globes? Link to comment https://forums.primetimer.com/topic/31373-2016-awards-season/page/4/#findComment-1823622
vb68 December 24, 2015 Share December 24, 2015 I still think Pia will always be in a league of her own on that score. 2 Link to comment https://forums.primetimer.com/topic/31373-2016-awards-season/page/4/#findComment-1825495
Shannon L. December 29, 2015 Share December 29, 2015 (edited) I saw Concussion this morning wouldn't mind seeing some Oscar nominations for It. I thought it was excellent. For the most part, though, I'm feeling kind of "meh" about a lot of the movies this year. A lot of them feel either too depressing or too slow. I still want to see The Big Short, though and I'm on the fence about Trumbo and The Danish Girl. Edited December 29, 2015 by Shannon L.
